Dear, I made new tests, and also fails to 'defaultPackage'. This made:

1) Create the files users.properties, roles.properties in \drools-5.1.0.M1-guvnor-standalone\jboss-4.2.3.GA\server\default\conf.

also create the file 'testDS1-ds.xml' in \default\deploy

2) Start the jboss.

3) http://localhost:8080/drools-guvnor. when he asks "This looks like a brand new repository. Would you like to install a sample repository?" I respond "No thanks"

4) From eclipse add hellow_world.rf to Guvnor to 'defaultPackage' package, OK

5) Build package 'default' , and delivers the same error:
